Dear Parents and Care Givers

Welcome back to school - I hope you and your families enjoyed a relaxing Half

Term holiday.

Electronic Newsletter

This half-term we begin distribution of our weekly Newsletter primarily through e-

mail, using addresses provided by parents and carers. The Newsletter will also be

available on the school website, as before. If you still wish to receive a paper

copy, some will be available for students to collect from the main reception foyer

each Friday morning. Thank you for your support with our drive for economy and

sustainability. If you would like us to change the main parent or carer, please

update us by sending a message to parentmail@langley-sec.solihull.sch.uk.

Badminton Club – Years 7 & 8

“After our great success this year in the Schools’ Badminton Competition, I am

hoping to set up a club for Years 7 and 8 for boys and girls. We need to strengthen

our team and I am really looking to introduce new players and offer them training

to improve their badminton skills. If you are interested in joining us, then come

along to the Sports Hall at 12.45pm on Wednesday lunchtime to give it a go!”
